Pregnancy is no excuse to fall victim to the yoga pants blues. You know, that point where you decide there isn't anything that is ever going to fit over that big bulge in your front or the newly defined hump on your backside? Tell me, I'm not the only one.
But really though, maternity clothes are expensive, limited, and very basic, I get it. Last week I shared some accessories that can be used to spruce up your bump and this week I'm sharing regular pieces of clothing you can use to spruce it up. The luxury of these pieces is that you may already own them or if you add them to your closet, you will be able to wear them after baby as well.

I am a lover of layers and luckily, the majority of my pregnancy, or at least the big months, are going to take place in September through January which means I can use layers to stretch my pregnancy wardrobe. I think putting effort into my outfits will help to make me feel like "me" and more beautiful as I continue to blossom.
Loose sweaters are a great way to keep the bump cozy and warm and also hide a post-bump belly once baby comes. They will also look great paired with boots and skinny jeans once body by baby is gone and mommas got her groove back.
Button up shirts and vests are perfect to wear in lieu of cardigans to spruce up an outfit. I especially love the army green fad going on right now. I'm on the hunt for a vest to add to my own wardrobe.
I'm also a huge fan of the open cardigan all the time, but I especially like ones without buttons right now because they make it appear like the cardigan was never meant to be buttoned in the first place. Let's be honest, it ain't buttoning right now!
Last, but not least, I have vowed I will not purchase a winter maternity coat. Mainly because I know they will be expensive and I know I won't wear it for long because winter's in NC are so mild. I live in down vests in the fall/winter here because that's really all we need. So, I'm planning on layering a down vest over my belly with scarves and mittens and hoping to stay warm enough with those layers.
What pieces do you incorporate to your maternity wardrobe?
